Tho Typical 1GiIin6 Ffsspsator.
s'The queerest thing in the whole mining
business to me,'' said bright eyed and
talkative passenger from the west, named
Eastman, sis the prospector. should
think some good writer could take up thl
prospector and make hero Of him, or put
him in play as the central figure The
typical prospector is certainly . study.
He comes into town all excited; he flies %
high he can hardly touch the ground with
his feet His face Is radiant, and he can
hardly abstain from talking with every onl
he meets. Finally he picks out well-to.
do citizen, takes him aside and whispers in
his ear:
"sI've struck her. Struck her rich thil
time. Got her sure. A big lead; sure for.
tune. All want Is q chance to show hen
up. Say, grub stake me and I'll give you
half. It's fortune for both of Us, and nc
mistake
.'Probably this citizen doesn't put up the
grub stake. He has heard the same story
before. But somebody does-a grub stake,
you know, is an outfit for working min
ing claim, consisting chiefly Of food to keep
the prospector going while at work digging
and away he goes, hopping and skipping,
into the mountains.
"In few months he returns. His plum.
age hangs between his legs, as it were. He
looks sheepish and shamefaced. He sneaka
around the camp a few hours and finally
musters up enough courage to 60 to hia
hacker and report the failure Of the claim.
''In few weeks or months the same per-
formance is gone through with again.
Again he is just as confident as he was be-
fore, just as radiant, quite as sure that he
has struck her-struck her at last, and big
at that, by gosh.' He gets another grub
stake, and fairly flies with wings into the
mountains. A few more months and he
is back again, just as shamefaced as he was
the other time, quite as crestfallen. In thia
way he goes on year after year. Why,
know men of this sort who have been en-
gagged in that way for ten or twelve years.
Two or three times year they are rich and
as many times poor. ."-Chicago Herald.

WOODVILLE AND ELK PARK.
A Budget OF News From q Compare.

WoopvrLLE. MT. March 80. 1886

WooDvILLE, NJ. T., March 80, 1886.
During the past three weeks have gath
cred a considerable amount Of mining and
other information which, trust, will
prove beneficial, SO far as your readers are
concerned, and also, So far as are those
owning property in the vicinity.
The Park generally is flooded with water
and snow. Not less than four weeks will
elapse before the roads will be passable
for heavy teams. For over three weeks
there has not been load of wood hauled
aeross the bottoms OF Elk Park. Higher
than Butte by nearly 700 feet, the heavy
"impregnable" so far as pedestrianism is
concerned. Snow and slush are at present
prevalent.
The stages running between Boulder and
Butte have been delayed. passengers have
been laid over from one transfer business
to another and again to many days on &C
count of the impossible condition of the
roads. The swollen torrents washed away
the bridges and drivers were compelled to
"only meet" from one side Of the stream
to the other. Mail sacks were lariated
and hauled-across the turbulent waters.
Fortuna tely the g. & L. Stage Company
had possession of the road and live men of
experience.
JOHNNIE RASH,
an ''old-timer" stage station boy, and one
whom all old stage riders will recognize,
rushed force OF five men to the rescue
during the foods in Elk Park and himself
materially assisted in breaking roads, fall
ing mighty drifts of snow-sometimes 20
feet in height, and generally breaking new
trails, il order that the q. 8. mail might be
safely transported. Johnnie is one of
those boys who pulled ribbons in Oregon,
Washington Territory, Dakota, Idaho, Ne
vada, California and Montana. In max
ing mention of his name, I only do justice
to the man and to the company he repre-
sents.
School in Woodville will not be opened
until about the LIST Of May, as a new school
house has to be provided snd other ar
rangemente made.
An entirely new Board will be elected on
April 2.
There are not now banked in this town
over twenty cords of wood, simply on &C
count of the impossible condition of the
roads.
The winter cattle, numbering several
hundred, are doing and looking well. They
have been fed hay during the entire win
ter.
THE LAST CHANCE,
owned by Duffy and Lynn, is panning out
pay ore which goes from 60 ounces to 22O
ounces. Mr.. John Duffy returned from
Kansas few days since, and now informs
your correspondent that in the course of u
few weeks he will introduce machinery
for new mill and such works as will prop
erly treat the ores extracted.
Very many mines have been recently 10.
Gated. Very mauy men will be soon put at
work in development business, and, we
presume, very many valuable properties
opened The Butte capitalists who are in
terested in the mines OF this vicinity are
anxious to get return from their claims,
and hence will soon employ a large force to
them. CHANCE.

Marriage ana divorce Laws
There is gradually extending opinion that
the marriage and divorce laws of the differ
ent states should be made uniform. In
twenty-three of the thirty eight states a
prior undissolved marriage sets aside new
union. In twenty insanity does the same;
in seventeen homage, and in thirteen fraud.
These are grounds for declaring mar.
riage null and void alb initio. Desertion as
a ground for divorce varies in length and
character in many states.-New York Sun.

In summing up,~ the conclusion seems
unavoidable, regarding the essential features
Of the "Waring" system, as outlined above,
that what was new cannot be called good,
and what Is good cannot be called new.
The successful working of the Memphis
system, and it is generally giving satisfaction
to the public, is clearly not due TO any new
features, but 10 those principles Of sewer
construction which have been known and
practiced elsewhere for many years before,
and greatly, also 10 the careful and constant
attention il receives at the hands of com
petent force of FIVE or six men.
Had not these works been so prominently
advocated by Col. Waring and his friends
abroad as well as at home, and had not the
general public been led TO believe that an
essential progress had been made in the art
OF sewer building, criticisms would likewise
feel sure, not have been given prominence.
In one point Col. Waring should be given
great credit At the time when it was high
ly important TO introduce sewers in Mem
phis, and when the city was practically
bankrupt, he suggested the separate system
MS the only feasible one financially against
the combined, which had previously been
recommended for the city. He suggested il
when the system had been but little used in
America, and only on a much smaller scale
than there required. This sagacity and
courage proved OF great advantage to the
fever stricken city, and the good results
which rapidly followed the introduction OF
sewerage and other sanitary improvements
should be and are fully appreciated.
